MODERN ETIQUETTE

Manners are a set of common rules that were first recognized to restore social order and to differentiate between classes of people. Also described as polite standards and ethical behaviors regarding professional practice. That sounds rigid for today's world but a reconstructed code of etiquette is a contemporary bag of tools to propel you forward and polish your act.

DINING ETIQUETTE
Michele Tasca

The world continues to change with the evolution of technical products and services, but there is always room for manners. I’m not talking about etiquette from the 1970’s. I’m talking about modernizing how others perceive us and how modern manners propel us forward in life. Manners are much more than being charming, and statistics show that people may judge you on something as basic as how you hold your fork or how much you tip the server.
